Heinz Engl

Heinz Werner Engl (born March 28, 1953) is an Austrian mathematician, the rector of the University of Vienna.[1]

Engl was born in Linz. He studied at the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, where he earned an engineering diploma in technical mathematics in 1975,[2] a doctorate in 1977,[3] and a habilitation in 1979. He worked at the University of Linz starting in 1976 as an assistant professor, was promoted and tenured in 1981, and became a full professor in 1988. His research in this period concerned inverse problems in applied mathematics. He became vice-rector of the University of Vienna in 2007, and rector in 2013.[2]

With Martin Hanke and Andreas Neubauer he is the author of the book Regularization of Inverse Problems (Mathematics and its Applications 375, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996).[4]

Engl won the Theodor Körner Prize in 1978,[2] the Wilhelm Exner Medal in 1998,[5] and the ICIAM Pioneer Prize (jointly with Ingrid Daubechies) in 2007.[6] He became a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 2000, and a full member in 2003.[2] He became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2009,[7] an inaugural fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012,[8] and a member of Academia Europaea in 2013.[9] He is also a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.[10] In 2012, Saarland University gave him an honorary doctorate.[2]
